Video shows crew running as building collapses unexpectedly.
More news is emerging over yesterday’s partial stand-up at a sugar refinery which resulted in several failed attempts to bring down one particularly stubborn building. However, as amateur video emerges, it appears that the eventual collapse came very close to being a major incident.
After several attempts to blast the structure, it was announced that the building would be pulled down with cables attached to a hydraulic excavator. This process was expected to take an hour, resulting in a good many of the onlookers gradually drifting away.
However, within five minutes, the building merely “fell over”. And as this video shows, it left at least one demolition worker running for his life (at the 6.30 minute mark).
